29 March 42

ASW/Subs:
The final chapter in the SS Barracuda saga comes to a close. She arrived at Pearl with damage at 36/91. I have not played this game as long as others, but this saga has got to be one of the best. How a sub took over 20 days to make port and not sink with over 60 at start and ends up with 91 float damage is beyond my understanding. [&:] She will be pumped dry and sent to San Diego to get the system damage repaired.

Central Pacific:
Canton Island [PNX] - SS Argonaut did well on this patrol. She laid mines here that damaged an APD and on the way back to Pearl, she sunk a ML with 2 torpedoes.
